Thank you Sto-N-Go!
Let's face it - the front clearance is really hard to judge on these cars and the sensors are worthless IMO.
The Sto-N-Go has saved me. Last night I was carefully pulling into a spot and SCCCCRAAAPPP!!!!!!!!! - my heart dropped. The plate and metal basic frame got all scratched up.
The plate itself got bent and scraped at the bottom but I was able to straighten it out laying it on plywood, with a rubber mallet. Back in place already with a basic black frame and looking like new.
The Sto-N-Go pieces are much tougher than a frame or plate, so those take the hit.
The whiskers lower plastic + the Sto-N-Go make a great team.
From now on I will be backing into any spots that have a curb. Hate doing that because is it comes across as a poser move, but hell with that, I am done bending up my plate/frame.
When I took my car to Costco, the tech parked it by backing in vs forward and I should have taken that as an Omen. The rear cam seems to do a fair job at letting me judge curb distance also.

Regarding the mouth: I never realized how obnoxious front plates were until I moved to South Carolina where they aren't used. Esp. in the case of the F-Type a front plate is nothing short of an abomination. I recall looking through the pictures of the Blueberry get together and how starkly the difference was between cars with and without front plates.

My friend that owns a VW dealership has sold a few Golf Rs and I told him Sto-N-Go makes a plate holder but they don't care. Dealers LOVE to whip out the drill bit and carve up your bumper.
Sorry, but the plate mounted on the bumper of the F-type looks hideous and degrades the stunning beauty of that nose.
